Actually, the purpose is to ssh someone upon request.
The most general situation is when his ISP is
assigning a dynamic IP and is not connected to
internet through a linux box, but rather through a
cable/DSL modem and a router (D-link, Linksys, etc.).
I thought it might be a way which doesn't involve
another server (dyndns, whatismyip, etc)
Thanks to everyone for their ideas.
